I literally picked it up. I was sitting at a restaurant eating and on the window sill I noticed someone left their matchbox behind. Upon further review it is an RX-7. Wow what are the chances of that huh? It's pretty beat up. I had my nephew install new wheels on it because the stock wheels were horrible. I think I will fix it up just for the heck. It has a broken windshield and the paint is peeling.

I'm still tripping on the fact that I found a 1st gen matchbox RX-7. LOL Seriously what are the chances. Life is a trip.

 

Those wheels are hideous!

 

Ohh Nice....

Intresting....

Damn I wish I had I found it.

 

You should put in in your car!!!

 

Its good to see that there are people out there, just as crazy as me. This last week i have seen rx7 shaped cakes, rotor shaped lamps, and my own newly obtained rotor shaped ashtrays, wich i "found" at a restaurant...!

 

Ahh ****! I just realized my fricking nephew changed the dash. Now it's not right hand drive. WTF! Damn kids don't know the value of **** nowadays.

 

ahh, you should of seen the original ones. They do look to big huh?

Damn, can't get a break here for nothing. LOL

To think a kid was actually playing with it, his name is written on the roof. A future 1st gen kid who is probably crying cause he lost his 1st gen. It's kind of amazing with all the cool cars out there, this kid took his Mazda out to eat. Kinda cool I think.

 

nice find i should look at my old toy cars i still have and see if i have a fb or any rx7 but i know for xmas last year i got a 3rd gen toy car

 

You have all the good 'toys', lol.

 

What wheels? Lol, all i see is black

 

Kim, thats great. When i saw the title i was like awesome. Then, it was this. It still cool but not drivable, Lol.

 

ok, so I decided to check Ebay to see the matchbox 1st gens and I found this one for $250.00. Holy crap!

kim, if you wanna repaint it, i used to paint toy cars when i was younger (too broke to buy models, but had over 300 hot wheels)

nail polish remover will take the paint off. once the major parts are off, a toothpick gets out the paint from the cracks well. then get some testors paint and some thinner. thin some of the paint out a little till it goes on nice and thin. if you dont like it, more nail polish

 

KIM I have that same one but mine is red I only bring it out when its not hot or cold "Inside" my house LOL

 

And heres all of my RHD 1st gens!!!!
